References on ARN-509

Apalutamide, also known as ARN-509 and JNJ-56021927 , is an androgen receptor antagonist with potential antineoplastic activity. ARN-509 binds to AR in target tissues thereby preventing androgen-induced receptor activation and facilitating the formation of inactive complexes that cannot be translocated to the nucleus. This prevents binding to and transcription of AR-responsive genes. This ultimately inhibits the expression of genes that regulate prostate cancer cell proliferation and may lead to an inhibition of cell growth in AR-expressing tumor cells.
Apalutamide (INN) (developmental code name ARN-509, also JNJ-56021927) is a non-steroidal antiandrogen that is under development for the treatment of prostate cancer.[1] It is similar to enzalutamide both structurally and pharmacologically,[2] acting as a selective competitive antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR), but shows some advantages, including greater potency and reduced central nervous system permeation.[1][3][4] Apalutamide binds weakly to the GABAA receptor similarly to enzalutamide, but due to its relatively lower central concentrations, may have a lower risk of seizures in comparison.[1][3][5] The drug has been found to be effective and well-tolerated in clinical trials thus far,[2][4] with the most common side effects reported including fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.[6][3][5] Apalutamide is currently in phase III clinical trials for castration-resistant prostate cancer.[7]
Recently, the acquired F876L mutation of the AR identified in advanced prostate cancer cells was found to confer resistance to both enzalutamide and apalutamide.[8][9] A newer antiandrogen, ODM-201, is not affected by this mutation, nor has it been found to be affected by any other tested/well-known AR mutations.[10]
Apalutamide may be effective in a subset of prostate cancer patients with acquired resistance to abiraterone acetate.[2]
The chemical structure of ARN-509 is very similar structure to  that of Enzalutamide (MDV3100) with two minor modifications: (a) two methyl groups in the 5-member ring of MDV3100 is linked by a CH2 group in ARN-509; (b) the carbon atom in the benzene ring of MDV3100 is replaced by a nitrogen atom in ARN-509. ARN-509 is considered as a Me-Too drug of Enzalutamide (MDV3100). ARN-509 was claimed to be more active than Enzalutamide (MDV3100).
ARN-509 is a novel 2nd Generation anti-androgen that is targeted to treat castration resistant prostate cancers where 1st generation anti-androgens fail.  ARN-509 is unique in its action in that it inhibits both AR nuclear translocation and AR binding to androgen response elements in DNA. Importantly, and in contrast to the first-generation anti-androgen bicalutamide, it exhibits no agonist activity in prostate cancer cells that over-express AR. ARN-509 is easily synthesized, and its oral bioavailability and long half-life allow for once-daily oral dosing. In addition, its excellent preclinical safety profile makes it well suited as either a mono- or a combination therapy across the entire spectrum of prostate cancer disease states. (source: http://www.aragonpharm.com/programs/arn509.htm).
ARN-509 is  a competitive AR inhibitor, which is fully antagonistic to AR overexpression, a common and important feature of CRPC. ARN-509 was optimized for inhibition of AR transcriptional activity and prostate cancer cell proliferation, pharmacokinetics and in vivo efficacy. In contrast to bicalutamide, ARN-509 lacked significant agonist activity in preclinical models of CRPC. Moreover, ARN-509 lacked inducing activity for AR nuclear localization or DNA binding. In a clinically valid murine xenograft model of human CRPC, ARN-509 showed greater efficacy than MDV3100. Maximal therapeutic response in this model was achieved at 30 mg/kg/day of ARN-509 , whereas the same response required 100 mg/kg/day of MDV3100 and higher steady-state plasma concentrations. Thus, ARN-509 exhibits characteristics predicting a higher therapeutic index with a greater potential to reach maximally efficacious doses in man than current AR antagonists. Our findings offer preclinical proof of principle for ARN-509 as a promising therapeutic in both castration-sensitive and castration-resistant forms of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer found in Western men and the second leading cause of cancer death in Western men. When prostate cancer is confined locally, the disease can usually be treated by surgery and/or radiation. Advanced disease is frequently treated with anti-androgen therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy. Administration of anti-androgens blocks androgen receptor (AR) function by competing for androgen binding; and therefore, anti-androgen therapy reduces AR activity. Frequently, such therapy fails after a time, and the cancer becomes hormone refractory, that is, the prostate cancer no longer responds to hormone therapy and the cancer does not require androgens to progress.
Overexpression of AR has been identified as a cause of hormone refractory prostate cancer (Nat. Med., 10:33-39, 2004; incorporated herein by reference). Overexpression of AR is sufficient to cause progression from hormone sensitive to hormone refractory prostate cancer, suggesting that better AR antagonists than the current drugs may be able to slow the progression of prostate cancer. It has been demonstrated that overexpression of AR converts anti-androgens from antagonists to agonists in hormone refractory prostate cancer. This work explains why anti-androgen therapy fails to prevent the progression of prostate cancer.
The identification of compounds that have a high potency to anatgonize AR activity would overcome the hormone refractory prostate cancer and slowdown the progression of hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Such compounds have been identified by Sayers et al. (WO 2007/126765, published Nov. 8, 2007; which is incorporated herein by reference). One compound is known as A52, a biarylthiohydantoin, and has the chemical structure
  • Another compound A51 has the chemical structure:
  • Both of these compounds share the same western and central portions. Given the need for larger quantities of pure A51 and A52 for pre-clinical and clinical studies, there remains a need for a more efficient synthesis of the compound from commercially available starting materials.

Convergent Coupling to Yield A52

The final coupling step between intermediates A and B is achieved by microwave irradiation and cyclization to the biarylthiohydantoin A52 (Scheme 6). Although 3 equivalents of A are required for the highest yields in this transformation, the un-reacted amine A can be recovered.

Liarozole synthesis from Lednicer book 6 (Drugs of the Future citation).

Liarozole fumarate is prepared as shown in Scheme 20970301a. Anisol is reacted with 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride (I) under Friedel-Craft conditions to give (3-chlorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (II). Nitration of (II) is carried out in dichloromethane at 10 C to yield (III). The methoxy group in (III) is replaced by the amino group by means of NH3 in 2-propanol at 100 C under pressure, giving (IV). By reduction of the keto function of (IV) with sodium borohydride in 2-propanol, the corresponding alcohol (V) is obtained, which upon treatment with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole in refluxing dichloromethane yields the imidazolyl compound (VI). Hydrogenation of the nitro group in (VI), followed by cyclization of (VII) in a refluxing mixture of formic acid and 4N hydrochloric acid, gives the benzimidazole derivative (VIII). Finally, the treatment of (VIII) with fumaric acid in ethanol yields liarozole fumarate (IX).

Liarozole is a racemic mixture, i.e. a mixture of its optical isomers, and is specifically mentioned as compound 28 in EP-0,371,559. Said patent application mentions the use of compounds like liarozole in the treatment of epithelial disorders. EP-0,260,744 describes the use of compounds like liarozole for inhibiting or lowering androgen formation. Whereas EP-0,371,559 and EP-0,260,744 recognize that compounds like liarozole have stereochemically isomeric forms, no example of an enantiomerically pure form is given of liarozole.
Chemically liarozole is (±)-5-[3-chlorophenyl]-lH-imidazol-l-ylmethyl]-lH-benz- imidazole, and is represented by formula (I). As can be seen from the chemical structure, liarozole has one stereogenic center (indicated with an asterisk in formula (I)).
The subject of this invention is the enantiomerically pure dextrorotatory isomer or (+)-isomer of liarozole. Said isomer will hereinafter be referred to as (+)-liarozole. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e. they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes (+) and (-) or d and 1 are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is iaevorotatory and with (+) or d meaning that the compound is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure the optically active isomers having an opposite sign of optical rotation are called enantiomers. Said enantiomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A 1: 1 -mixture of such enantiomers is called a racemic mixture.
General preparation of structures including liarozole have been extensively described in EP-0,371,559 and EP-0,260,744.
Enantiomerically pure (+)-liarozole may be prepared by reacting an enantiomerically pure intermediate diamine of formula (B)-(II) with formic acid or a functional derivative thereof.
Said functional derivative of formic acid is meant to comprise the halide, anhydride, amide and ester, including the ortho and imino ester form thereof. Also methanimidamide or an acid addition salt thereof can be used as cyclizing agent.
The general reaction conditions, work-up procedures and conventional isolation techniques for carrying out the above and following reactions are described in the prior art. When more specific conditions are required they are mentioned hereinunder. The enantiomerically pure intermediate diamine of formula (B)-(II) may be prepared by reducing an intermediate of formula (B)-(iπ) by a standard nitro-to-amine reduction reaction.
The desired enantiomer of the intermediate of formula (B)-(]H) can be prepared by fractional crystallization of a racemic mixture of the intermediate of formula (HI) with an enantiomerically pure chiral acid. Preferred chiral acid for the above fractional crystallization is 7,7-dimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-l-methanesulfonic acid (i.e. 10-camphorsulfonic acid).
Appropriate solvents for carrying out said fractional crystallization are water, ketones, e.g. 2-propane, 2-butanone; alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol. Mixtures of ketones and water are very suitable for the above fractional crystallization. Preferably a mixture of 2-propanone and water is used.
The ratio of water/2-propanone by volume may vary from 1/10 to 1/2. Preferred range of said ratio is 1/5 to 1/3.
The fractional crystallizations are suitably carried out below room temperature, preferably below 5°C.
It was also found that the subsequent reaction step can be carried out without any appreciable racemization.
Alternatively the (+)-isomer of the compound of formula (I) may be prepared by cyclizing an intermediate of formula (B)-(IV) following procedures as described above for the cyclization of intermediates of formula (B)-(II) and desulfurating the thus obtained intermediate of formula (B)-(V). In formulas (B)-(TV) and (B)-(V) R represents Ci^alkyl, wherein Ci-^alkyl means a straight or branch chained saturated hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl. Preferably R is methyl.
The intermediates of formula (B)-(IV) may be prepared by reacting an intermediate of formula (B)-(VI) with a reagent of formula (VII), alkylating the thus formed thiourea derivative of formula (B)-(VIII) subsequently cyclizing the intermediate of formula
(B)-(D ), and reducing the nitro group of the intermediate (B)-(X). In the formulas
(Vπ), (B)-(Vm), (B)-(IX) and (B)-(X) R represents Ci^alkyl as defined hereinabove.

(-)-(lR)-7,7-dimethyl- 2-oxo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-l-methanesulfonic acid (353.2 g) was added and the mixture became homogeneous after 10 minutes. The mixture was first stirred for 18 hours at 20°C and then for 3 hours at 0-5°C. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with 2-propanone/water 95/5 (150 ml) and dried, yielding 308.9 g (36.2%) of product A sample (306.7 g) was partitioned between dichloromethane (500 ml) and water (750 ml). Ammonium hydroxide (100 ml) was added. This mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice with dichloromethane (250 ml each time). The separated organic layer was washed with water (250 ml), dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 179.7 g of (-)-(B)-4-[(3-chlorophenyl)-
20 lH-imidazol-l-ylmethyl]-2-nitrobenzenamine; mp. 89.8°C; [α]D = -19.80° (c = 0.5% in methanol) (interm. 1). b) A mixture of intermediate (1)(179.7 g) in methanol (656 ml) and a solution of ammonia in methanol (32.7 ml) was hydrogenated at 20-25 °C with platinum on activated carbon (13.1 g) as a catalyst in the presence of thiophene (0.27 g). After uptake of hydrogen (3 eq.) the catalyst was filtered off and washed with 2-propanol (30 ml). A solution of hydrochloric acid in 2-propanol (522 ml) was added to the filtrate at <30°C. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 20 °C, then for 3 hours at 0-5 °C. The resulting precipitate was slowly filtered off, washed with methanol (100 ml) and dried

After cooling, the mixture was poured on ice. The precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 55 g (99.4%) of (±)-N-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl) (3-chlorophenyl)methyl]formamide (interm. 3). b) A mixture of intermediate (3) (50.7 g), hydrochloric acid 6N (350 ml) and 2-propanol (70 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 17 hours. The yellow precipitate was filtered off and dried in vacuo, yielding 51 g (97.8%) of (±)-4-amino-α-(3-chloro- phenyl)-3-nitrobenzenemethanamine monohydrochloride; mp. 263°C (interm.4). c) To a solution of intermediate (4) (43 g) in tetrahydrofuran (400 ml) at room temperature was added succesively N,N-diethylethanamine (13.8 g) and (R)-(-)-α- hydroxybenzeneacetic acid (20.8 g). Then a solution of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (22.2 g) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was added. After complete addition a solution of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (33.9 g) in dichloromethane (300 ml) was introduced to the mixture. After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature N,N'- dicyclohexylurea was filtered off. The filtrate was washed with a solution of potassium carbonate (10%) and the organic layer was dried to give a mixture of diastereomers (60g) (fraction 1). The same experiment with intermediate (4) (16 g) as starting material resulted in a yield of 26 g of a mixture of diastereomers (fraction 2). Fraction 1 and 2 were combined and purified by HPLC (eluent : CH2θ2/ethyl acetate 90:10), yielding 30g (32.3%) of (±)-(R,B)-N-[(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-α- hydroxybenzeneacetamide (interm.5). d) A mixture of intermediate (5) (30 g), hydrochloric acid 12N (300 ml) and 1-propanol (100 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 17 hours and poured on ice.
